now that Detroit has been gutted inside, the Bulls improved, the Cavaliers ever improving, and the Heat as champs (with the lowest win total in years for a title team)

how wilil the Nets fare?

if the Nets draft picks and any possible FA solidify the bench, the Nets will definitely win over 50 games.

the Nets gave away many freebies this year because of a lack of a bench.. especially the last few games of hte years against division weaklings Boston and TEam Titanic.

but how will our seeding work?

our best shot at the ECF probably lies in grabbing a 1/2 seed.

but I doubt the Nets can grabthe 1 seed... yet it is not out of the realm of the possible...

if Shaq takes half a season off again and the rest of the Heat do not mesh well in the beginning of the season (not to mention GP and Zo retiring) then I think the Nets can challenge the 1st and possibly grab the 2nd seed.
